Cosima

Oh to have curtains like these, Issé Edition create beautifully natural textiles. On the most lovely earthy toned linen the embroidery is dyed using an artisanal method. Issé press the dye into the fibres so colour is compelling, earthy and subtly uneven adding to the relief for this superb furnishings fabric.

Marceau

Upon a subtly shiny base, multi-coloured twisted yarns delicately reveal a geometric pattern that forms a rhythmic stripe. It’s very tempting, colour palette is excellent.  Plus it is certified EcoVero, this viscose is eco-responsible, traceable, and environmentally friendly. It comes from sustainably managed forests (FSC) and is produced with up to 50% less water than it usually takes to make viscose.

Oscar

There is a deliberate rhythm to Issé’s designs. Meticulous stitching and weaving are the hallmarks of this unbelievably refined textile. Finely woven yet detailed Oscar is a remarkable feat in weaving technology. One does need to see its wonder close-up.

Louis

Plush & lush, Louis is the softest of chenilles. Woven into deep textural reliefs, light bounces across long fine satin fibres. A remarkably sophisticated & tempting selection of colours & at 60,000 martindales Louis is tough.

Sophie

A poetic balance of the raw & natural with transparency & light. Collaborating with architect and designer, Sophie Dries, Issé-Edition creates an organic sheer made of 100% jute. Double width. Light gently flows through its openwork mesh.

Issé Edition has lovely sheers for day curtains. Sheers that are exquisite & well considered,  that help to define the sensibility of the space.  Great curtains, whether day or night make a huge difference.

“Issé Edition invites you to rethink spaces, naturally blurring the distinctions between indoors and out. Our fabrics draw their inspiration from the contours of a landscape, light on stone, the blowing wind – so many details that shape the finished article”

Eden–tightly hand knotted

This is Eden in nougat, opulent and made with fine hand-dyed wool.  The tightness of the knotting creates a remarkable lustre across the rug, a pleasure to walk upon. Armadillo say that they were inspired by heavenly frescoes defining luxury rugs in Singapore.  Eden is lavishly soft to touch and a reverie to gaze upon.

Alma

Devastatingly exquisite. Part of the Gaia collection — a collaboration between Armadillo and Catalonian artist Carla Cascales Alimbau Alma is, quite simply, like walking upon art.

Hand-knotted from silk and wool, its ultra-low pile carries a lustrous texture and nuanced tonal gradations that ensure no two rugs are exactly the same. A subtle luminosity. A gentle patina that shifts with the light, with the hour, with the years. A reminder, underfoot, that all things transform over time.

Agra

Look closely above. Five rugs, each one tightly hand-knotted, densely worked. Made from the finest abrash-dyed wool, the pile cut deep, tone within tone, beautifully nuanced. Watch how it catches the light.

Armadillo stock ten Agra colour-ways and offer a further forty-four custom colours made precisely for your vision. Agra is certified for commercial use.

“Our ethos is to create thoughtful and intuitive products that will satisfy real human needs and restore meaning to our lives. Our rugs are crafted from carefully sourced natural materials in a completely handmade process that brings conscious living to the fore, helping us to simplify, slow down, and engage more deeply with our spaces as they evolve alongside us.

Braid

Hand-plaited. Coiled. Stitched into a circle.

Circles are ancient, continuous, unbroken, it asks nothing of a room and yet brings everything to it. In Feng Shui, the circle represents unity and completeness energy moving through a space without interruption, softening what is harsh, under the dining table Braid brings connection and allows Qi to flow.

Luxurious wool-blend yarn, vibrant yet restrained in colour. Gentle curves meeting rippling texture. Place it under a round table. Place it somewhere unexpected. It will find its place.

Latitude crafted for this clime

Fine and flat woven. A luxury linen rug, Latitude lays a distinctly contemporary foundation without effort. Subtle colour shifts move across the surface like light through a window. Linen is the most honest of materials, a natural fibre rug built for warm air and cool interiors. Light in feel, confident in presence.
